It probably said Thursday since it would have been originally printed for Thursday.

I wrote about 8 pages.

Also I don't remember everything that came up, I was more focussed on doing the questions that I was doing than memorising the questions that I didn't do.

Cultural context and the Macbeth question were good too

No offense man, but going on my experience of myself and friends doing the LC you probably would have doubled your score by staying till the end. If you can't remember a question you saw an hour earlier, even some key words form it, then I would guess your memory isn't great and the extra time would have helped you fill out your answers.

Fairly happy with that.
Macbeth Q1 was nice.It was on the horrible consequences of Macbeth killing Duncan.

Comparative: Theme and Cultural context came up.Did the CC question,thought it was grand as long as you kept refering to conflict.

Poetry: Unseen,well I have never really liked this question.Poem was ok wouldn't say I did brilliant.

Bishop,Keats,Walcott and Montague came up.I did Montague.Thought the question was ok,a bit annoyingly phrased.I was stuck for time at the stage and so tired ,I think it may have affected my answer a bit.

My sister came home there and she said that she felt she did better today than what would have been on the paper on Thursday.

What the hell was up with the poetry questions??

They've never been that specific before. I couldn't do the Walcott question!

Easiest paper imaginable - the second Macbeth question was literally

Macbeth is a compelling drama, why? Explain your opinion mentioning at least one "ingredient" that makes it a compelling drama.

You could have talked about ANYTHING

Just like I said - lunatics on the radio, bet they fail it anyway the tossers

Way easier than the last paper unless you only studied Longley. Montague, Walcott, Bishop and Keats. Macbeth was simple - compelling drama, you can talk about anything there tbh. And theme or issue, cultural context.

Looks like my uncle was wrong (I was joking btw lol):pac:

Thought it was pretty good, I rambled a bit on Keats though but apart from that all was well.

Lovely paper, delighted thursdays one was cancelled now

Q1 - Macbeth killing duncan - So easy if you knew the play. (got 4 pages done)
Q2 - Comparitive - Theme or issue, again, so easy to just write absolutly anything for if you knew the texts well (got 6 pages)
Q3 - Poetry - Bishop - Only poet I studied, so I'm delighted with that. The question was a little weird, required some thought to do, but was nice and handy (4 pages done)

I just cut it tight on the time and didn't get to do the unseen poem, but fcuk it, 20 marks isn't a whole lot.

The Bishop question was nice.
Unseen poem was good.
Cultural context (1) was an okay question.
Macbeth was decent, could have been better, but defo better than Banquo...
